Grilled Chicken Salad Recipe

For someone who’s spent a lot of years talking about how chicken is oh so boring, I’ve been really into chicken lately.  Specifically pounding it with a meat tenderizer, generously seasoning it {with salt, pepper, and garlic powder}, and throwing it on an extra hot cast iron grill pan.

Cast Iron Grilled Chicken

There’s just something about that sear that amps up the ordinary.  And then I got to thinking..  If I already love ordinary chicken salad, would I love chicken salad made with grilled chicken even more?

What to add to chicken salad

The answer was yes.  Grilling the chicken doesn’t change the flavor of the salad dramatically, but it does add enough smokiness to set it apart from traditional chicken salad.  I also added a lot of stuff to my salad: grapes, nuts, celery, and onions.  And just enough mayo to bind it all together.
